Has anyone ever used a tow-dolly to tow a 914? I'm trying to determine if this is do-able in leu of renting a car trailer. I know the 914 is low, so I'm concerned that it clear the chassis behind the front wheels, though most tow dolly's are pretty low anyway. Don't want to rent one only to find out I can't tow it when I get there to pick it up. Anything else I need to concern myself with?
Thanks, Andy |

QUOTE(andys @ Oct 16 2003, 12:22 PM) Has anyone ever used a tow-dolly to tow a 914? depends who you ask. AFAIK, UHaul doesn't mind (check their website for current specifics) but either Penske or Ryder (i don't recall which) say you can't tow-dolly any mid- or read-engined car -- and Penske says you can't put any Porsche on their trailers. i moved a 911 on a tow dolly 2000 mi and had no stability problems. you do have to be really careful backing up tho. check the website of whoever you plan to get the dolly from... |
